    ITT: Americans debating whether choosing between “the ONLY two choices they have” is good or bad, completely forgetting revolts exist and completely disregarding their beloved 2nd amendment.

    A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

    Sounds like you aren’t free anymore. You can bitch and moan about only having two choices all you want. If you vote Trump/Kamala/3rd party instead of taking up arms, overthrowing your state government and forcing your state to secede until the elections are changed to no longer be FPTP, then you are tacitly supporting genocide.

    But maybe it was really hard to consider such extreme actions. Well, now you know what the anti-genocide choice is. Let’s see if you risk your lives to stop your government from being genocidal fucks, or if you’re gonna do nothing about it because you’ve been completely pacified as a nation and are now unable to even consider fighting against tyrants. If you’ll excuse me, I’m not gonna hold my breath.

      ITT: Tankies that think the only solution to a non-utopian outcome is to burn everything to the fucking ground.

        ITT: Libs being confronted with the fact that the system they insist on participating in is designed to maintain genocide, and doing whatever mental gymnastics they deem necessary to defend it, because their own comfort and privilege is more important to them than the lives of some brown people, or the wellbeing of society at large.

      I don’t think the 2nd amendment was intended to be used as a means to dictate foreign policy. The point is to allow the populace to defend itself from the government.
